3. BEFORE USING YOUR POWER CONVERTER

When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device goes through 2 stages:
1. Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the
"starting" or "peak" load).
2. Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as the
"continuous load").
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or
printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user's manual. Otherwise,
contact the manufacturer to find out whether the device you want to use is
compatible with a modified sine wave.
